Top Nicosia Audio Guides

In the last 1,000 years, Nicosia has been conquered by the French, Venetians, Ottomans, and British, leaving the capital of Cyprus still divided to this day. On this self-guided walking tour through the old city, you'll uncover the tell-tale clues of this complex past etched into sites like the Venetian coat of arms on Famagusta Gate. Starting beside the Liberty Monument, you'll follow part of the Venetian Walls before winding through the old city centre, hearing how 300 years of French reign, Venetian ambition, and Ottoman rule each changed the city's fate. Along the way, discover churches with precious icons and frescoes, walk streets where schools and homes stand abandoned near a military zone, and find the dividing line that only one country in the world recognises. The tour ends in front of the Archbishop's Palace.
